About Me

I originally started this blog as a place to store tried and true recipes for my family. It didn't take long to discover how supportive and fun the blog community was and I became hooked! I rarely create my own recipes, but I still hope you'll enjoy the recipes that I find and tweak a bit.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Thanksgiving is almost here! Can you feel the pressure? I feel less pressure than I normally do, this year we have been invited to New Hampshire to spend Thanksgiving with friends and I could not be more excited! After Hurricane Sandy and the adventures she brought along with her, a Thanksgiving getaway with wonderful people is exactly what the doctor has ordered.

However, I know the thrill yet exhaustion that comes with preparing a full Thanksgiving meal. And usually for a full two or three days, I have very little desire to step foot in a kitchen again. But there will come a time when leftovers just won't cut it anymore.

But if you're entertaining for a long weekend, it's nice to have something, quick, easy and delicious to pull out of the artillery. These meatballs are just the trick. The meatballs are store bought, so half the work is done for you. It comes together quickly, is easily doubled or tripled and is a real crowd pleaser. Really, who doesn't like meatballs?

In a small bowl stir together water, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Stir into meatball mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Stir in pineapple chunks; heat through. Serve over hot cooked noodles and , if desire, sprinkle with green onions.
